Hi :)
Look yum :). Could I use French beans or snake beans for this recipe?
Yes.
I love bok choy and make it often, but please reconsider your description of the ginger “pieces”. Why? Because it reads as if every “piece” of ginger is one inch long, not wide… and you don’t say how thick they should be. Instead of “piece”, perhaps you could change the wording to something like “coin” so American English speakers can easily visualize what you mean. Example: (serves 4) 4 one inch wide coins of ginger, peeled and minced. For Americans, an approximate amount it should measure in terms of volume after chopping (teaspoons/tablespoons)…. or even an approx amount that it should weigh would be very helpful.
Regardless of “girth” 2 inches is 2 inches. A 2 inch length, peeled and minced. Not complicated for this English speaking american.
Rasa’s description has always been very clear to me, ginger is almost always similar in girth. No need for coins or any other nonsense.
Completely agree with Sophia. American English speaker in the house and I have no problem understanding Rasa’s description. As a matter of fact, describing it as “coin” would be more confusing, in my opinion. Rasa, you’re doing an awesome job and I enjoy your recipes.
Thanks for your support!
Exactly! This is not complicated, in fact, it’s super simple and the amount of ginger is really up to the discretion of each person. Some may use a bit more while others may use less. That’s the beauty of these recipes. It’s not an exact science and they are flexible which makes it easy and accessible for anyone.
